“Suggest a film and then a book. So watch Fantastic Fungi and then read entangled life. And another fun, really fun way is to read the triumph of the fungi by Nicholas P. Money. Now Nick Money has several books about fungi. There's a book called The Rise of the Yeast as well. And it's about the story of how yeast has shaped humanity. So Nicholas P. Money is a must read to learn in a lighter way, in a less scientific way, but in a really well-informed and referenced and real way about how fungi have shaped the planet.”

“I would really like to invite people to think about how important it is to let things rot and that it's really not about rock and roll anymore. It's about rotten mold. And we have to let things rot. In a rotten mole baby all the time, if we don't let things rot, then cycles don't start, don't flow. We can't fix carbon. We can't decompose to be able to recompose. We can't degenerate to be able to regenerate. I would really like to invite people to think about how even the most glorious moment of an old tree's life is when that tree falls to the ground and starts decomposing and turns back into soil. Let's not be afraid about decomposition. And there's a lot of hype around regeneration and that can't happen if things don't rot. Gotta let it rot. Let it rot.”

“Can I just add also when I received your email saying that you had seen some of the videos of like, oh shit, I wonder what he's seen. And then I actually misleadingly thought, oh, let me think of what's been done in English. And now I know that you might have seen what was in Spanish. So now I'm feeling even worse. I was like, oh no, what has he seen?”

“I have to say that this year, for those listening, Paul Stamitz is also known as Pablo. So Pablo doesn't go every year. He doesn't go every year. He's going this year and it's going to be an extraordinary festival. He is going to be giving a keynote as well. And I encourage you to consider popping in. It's not very long. It's a few days. And the community that exists there is extraordinary and the opportunity to talk to people who are trailblazing, thinking and debating and creation around Access to use of psychedelic medicine through access to cultivating your own foods and medicines, through access to foraging and access to talking to people who are dedicating their lives to bringing justice to the fungi. I highly recommend it. No year is better than this year”

“You very much, Tim. Thank you very much on behalf of the team and the board. That's emotion coming through the microphone, which isn't. Thank you very much. We've never had support like that before. Thank you very, very much. I hope to make you proud and we will make durable change for the fungi.”

“Okay, so the order of this stuff, first of all, is, you know, I was, how do you want to say, I was honored with the title of being Dame of Italy. And there are different orders of damehood. So the order of the star is a house of celebrated Italian citizens that weren't born on Italian soil. So, if I were born an Italian soil, I wouldn't be part of the order of the star. So the order of the star is exclusive to Italians who have made a contribution to the country. From somewhere else. And I was named Dame of the Order of the Star of Italy because of my work in mycology and for the fungi.”

“I found my tribe there. And for the last five years, I've had the honor of moderating the final panel with important people talking and thinking about fungi and psychedelic fungi like Dennis McKenna, Dave Nichols, and many others where we can sit down and have a candid conversation and talk about things nobody really wants to talk about in a scientific paper and that maybe they won't say in a press. So it's a very safe and candid space to talk and to ask about psychedelics and really anything fungal. There's a lot of cooking with fungi, a lot of foraging information about foraging. There's a lot of practical workshops on how to cultivate or decompose toxic substances with fungi. So it's an extraordinary space. This year, Paul”

“Telluride mushroom festival is a must. Tim, you have to go to the Telluride Mushroom Festival. It is a safe place to express fungal. Love and adoration. That's one thing I have to say. It's the oldest festival in the US dedicated to fungi. It's in its 41st edition. It was founded by four extraordinary men Paul Stamitz, Andy Whale, Emmanuel Salzberg and Gary Linkoff. Now this festival was the first place in the US where people could get together and talk about psychedelics and enthogens. And it has had some of the world's most renowned mycologists talking about the science of these species. It has the world's most renowned psychiatrist talking about the psychedelic renaissance and even before the Renaissance, let's face it, it's been a house to”

“How important it is when you believe in something, when you have an idea to take the time with yourself to develop it, to investigate what you're thinking about, we all can make a contribution if we give ourselves the time and space to develop our contribution and not be constantly looking for everybody else's contribution in a way. So this hyper-connectivity, I think, is not helping us to be able to take on these paths of in-depth study results on always immediate. It takes a long time and it's okay for it to take a long time. You don't present an idea and then the next day have a result. It takes a long time. It takes hard work and you can't do that if you're constantly looking at everybody else's life.”

“Think also, Tim, in this hyperconnected world, I have learnt and I'm very grateful to be of a generation that wasn't as hyper-connected in our teens. I have learned that It's important to be more with yourself than with others all day. I mean, I see people today constantly looking at what others are doing and constantly looking and trying to reflect themselves in what others choose to share.”

“The simple looking inside and giving yourself permission to try and do it has been the most fundamental thing. And it still is that way. We are still, you know, when you talk to people and you say, you know, I work for mushrooms and I work looking for mushrooms, protecting mushrooms, making sure that everybody knows about mushrooms. Most people look at you and think, what are you doing? Why? Why would you do that? I mean, how can you live like that? How can you feed your son from doing that? And the answer is inside. And the answer is in hard work. So that's what I've learned from complexity, simplicity of looking in.”

“Absolutely. I mean, positioning yourself as a 19 year old, 20-year-old, faced with an overwhelming fungal passion, fungal duty, an inelutable responsibility towards the kingdom of the fungi in a world where they are associated to rot to death, to paganism, founding the world's first NGO in a world where absolutely no funding existed at all and still hardly exists for anything fungal in terms of policy. We're talking about before the film Fantastic Fungi, before psilosopy was recognized as medicine in the Western world. That is the most complex scenario I've ever been faced with. And in that huge complexity and adversity, I found the simplicity of belief in yourself.”

“I have drawn inspiration from authors. Like Louis Sepulvitha, who, even if you read deep into complex authors like, you know, Milan Kundera or, you know, others, you can always from these huge complexities find simplicity. And that's been, I think, what has inspired me from everything I read is finding simplicity from complexities. I would say that authors like Gabriela Mistral have been important. Galliano, Eduardo Galliano, an important also, a very important author. So a lot of Latin American books, really into that.”

“Had a mitochondria. A mitochondria, which is this structure inside a cell that has its own DNA, it has its own information. My mother didn't study the cell with the mitochondria. Today you wouldn't think about teaching the cell without teaching about the mitochondria. My hope is that in 30 years, 40 years, you would never dare teach about nature without fungi having their own explicit modules and curriculum. So we're building that. So those are some of the things we're doing. The organization is blessed to have Paul Stamitz on its board, to have Natalie Kelly on its board, Joanna Foster, who is a winemaker in Argentina and other places with amazing natural wines and Antonio Basija Lupo and Jos ⁇ Mingo who are founding members.”

“Last but not least, I would say our work in education, we believe that in schools around the world, children should be taught as much about fungi as they are taught about plants and animals. And to do that, fungi have to be included in school curriculum. We have developed a curriculum and we have co-created part of that curriculum with fantastic fungi. I'm happy to say that the fungi foundation will be implementing a school curriculum paired to US standards, will be implementing in the US and in other parts of the world so that children can learn about fungi in school. Now that's a huge task, but if you think about it, Tim, 50 years ago, when people studied in school and they studied the cell, nobody knew that the cell”

“We also have an elders program which is, it's a line of work that is very dear to me, as is expeditions. And what we've taken on is to map every known ancestral and traditional use of fungi by humanity. And that map is very well advanced. We have collected both published information and oral history from different parts of the world that talk of how humanity has culturally co-evolved with fungi to weave baskets, to make some block, to dye fibers, to be used as symbols of power, to treat infertility, to treat wounds. And so that program Really is a reservoir. It's like the Noah's Ark of fungal solutions for the world. And it's a huge responsibility we have. It's never been done before.”

“Red listing is estimating the probability of extinction of a fungus or a species. So not only animals and plants can go extinct, fungi can too, and the process of red listing determines how close or how far we are to extinction for a species. So through the tool of red listing, we can make the case of policies and management plans to protect those species in those last wild places.”

“Ambitious in what we want to achieve as durable change. We have five overarching programs. One is the expeditions program in which we go to places where nobody's ever been before to see what fungi there are. The last wild places on earth, those habitats you were talking about that are being destroyed at rates that we've never seen before on earth. Because fungi have so many of these nature based solutions like medicine, food, textiles, we want to document those species before they're lost forever. And tied to that, we have a conservation program that takes action for them not to be lost forever. So we work in the proposal of public policy for their protection. We work to assess their threat of extinction through red listing.”

“Nothing would ferment, and therefore we wouldn't be able to preserve anything, and so many fundamental food and medicine functions wouldn't be available without the fungi. Fungi are essential to life as we know it. We cannot live without them. There is no life without them on earth.”

“And in terms of decomposing, Which is really the start of the life cycle, depending on, I mean, it's arguable here, you know, depending on where you stand. For my collegists? The cycle begins when things start to rot. The death of a life form isn't the end of life. It's the beginning of other life forms. And that's what fungi teach you, that The process of decomposition and rotting is the start of a cycle and it's the start of the creation of the conditions for life to compose. So ultimately the Without the fungi, plants couldn't live out of water. Nothing would decompose. Animals wouldn't be able to nourish themselves from plants. And in terms of humanity,”

“Plants can't live out of water without fungi that live on or in their roots. So We can go as essential as the fact that without the fungi life on Earth wouldn't be as we know it. Plants, trees are incapable of living in soil without their symbiotic fungi. They can't synthesize the nutrients of the soil by themselves. Herbivores can't break down the cellulose cell wool of the grass they eat or the plants they eat without the fungi in their gut that do it for them. So we know that energy is not lost. Energy is transformed. The organisms that transform energy and nature Are the decomposers the fungi, the bacteria? Without the fungi, nothing would decompose, nothing would regenerate because nothing would degenerate. And so fungi are essential to life on Earth as we know it in terms of symbiosis, helping plants and animals live.”

“It means a lot. First of all, it's a fact. We are more closely related to fungi than fungi are to plants. So fungi really are more closely related to animals. It's hugely important because if we look at, for example, I'm going to use an example, penicillin. Penicillin is an antibiotic that has changed the fate of humanity because let's convene that before the First World War you could have died from an infection from a paper cut. And it's thanks to penicillin and these antibiotics, especially penicillin, that we can cure infections. Now, penicillin is an antibiotic produced by fungi to protect themselves from bacteria. The fact that we're so closely related To fungi. Implies that it works for us too.”

“We start talking about fauna, flora, and funga. Funga is the word that delimits fungal diversity of a given place, that we stop talking about animals and plants as macroscopic life on Earth only, that we talk about animals fungi and plants, because language creates reality. And if we are still constantly discarding their existence through language or not acknowledging their existence and their role in language, we will never be able to create funding streams for their research. We will never be able to create policy for their inclusion in education. We will never be able to really create the pipelines and the systems by which the nature-based solutions that fungi hold can be brought to light. My hope for the future.”

“I'm happy to see that it's going towards global recognition of fungi in policy on an international level. Today I am very proud to say that large conservation bodies have adopted mycologically inclusive language in how they communicate nature. So rewild the organization that was co-founded by Leo DiCaprio in a rebrand it had from Global Wildlife Conservation has adopted the use of fungi in its language. Is talking about plants, animals and fungi and flora, fauna and funga, they are acknowledging the existence of the kingdom of the fungi in policy and regulations and legislation recommendations. And so my hope is that Leave the obsolete term of fauna and flora behind.”

It doesn't look at plants and animals as separate from each other. It considers the organisms that unites it all.”

So we went forward to Congress with a group of NGOs and made the case using fungi astonishing attributes and charismatic data and said Chile has been is a country that has a poor environmental performance. international recommendation from different agencies to adopt an ecosystemic view of nature. The only way to do that is to recognize the fungi. We're a country that houses the first NGO on earth, the first non-profit on earth that works for the fungi, so there was somebody pushing, with the know-how of the environmental sector. And after two years, two years.”

“And so I learned a way of getting environmental issues recognized in regulation and legislation. And in 2010, there was an opening to modify the Chilean law. And when a law is open to comment, anything can happen. And that's why legislators are so reticent to even modifying a small word in legislation or regulation because it opens the opportunity for a lot more to change. And when that happened in 2010, I started driving the issue that fungi needed to be recognized on par as plants and animals. And so that really we cannot talk about an ecosystem if we don't acknowledge the fungi. A lot of international agencies had been pushed the world to adopt an ecosystem.”

So it's still only referred to plants and animals and that she was sorry and that she would make sure in her next book to acknowledge the fungi. Of course I have that letter very well. That was my story with her. And then over time, because of her support and her encouragement to not stop on my mission There was something very acute in that bonding and that looking at each other. We're both field scientists, both mothers. And being a mother field scientist takes some extra energy, let's put it that way. You know, in her case, she had put her son in a cage to protect him from harm. I've had to leave my son for a long time to go on expedition.

“Don't stop she said Don't stop I'll never forget her words you know this feeling of being a voice for the voiceless she was at the beginning of her career a voice for chimpanzees when nobody was talking for them or about them and what she had seen from that first encounter with me to the next day where we met again she had found out that I was working to voice for fungal justice you know justice for the fungi and she acknowledged that and that was the first encounter and about a month later I received a handwritten letter from Jane to my home in the post that said how much she had you know loved meeting me how much she had been thinking about it and for me to please excuse her because she had just written a book”

“Oh, Jane Goodall visited Chile and I was invited to a dinner, a small dinner that was held to welcome her. And I took her, my books as a gift. I think it was actually only one book I had published at that moment. And I greeted her, listening to her in awe of this tremendous force of nature. And when I gave her the books, she said, you know, this incredible, you know, the fungi, you're absolutely right. They're different from plants and animals. And I'm trying to make a point of acknowledging them as who they are. And it was a very simple conversation. But the next day, I went to one of her talks again and she came up to me and she said, Juliana, you know, I've been thinking and I've been looking at your work and your book. And, you know, you are where you are with fungi, where I once was with the chimps.”

“The first one is the one that was used to give the name. And then you can vouch for many more of the species and deposit them in a fungium. So, for example, I'm curator of the FFCL fungarium. We house over 2,000 specimens, vouchers, but we only have, I think, three holotypes.”

“Holotype is the first voucher. It's the voucher from which the species was described. It's the physical specimen that was the first to give the name to a species.”

“It's a language, it's a language, language matters, but it's a language in itself and it's a language that not everybody should have to speak because it's a language that you can learn.”

“Let's talk about fungi because we have kingdom of the fungi, then we have phyla. The phyla. In the case of plants, we talk about division, not phyla, but animals and fungi talk about phyla, then class, order, family, genus, species.”
